Chapter 56: Did I Hear Wrong?
“Grandpa Feng!”
Ji Jiao screamed loudly and ran towards the old man with her arms open, Yen Chen looked at this scene with a frown on his face.
"Hahahahaha~ how has my little Jiao been?." The old man took Ji Jiao into his arms and hugged her very tightly and laughed loudly with a very happy expression. Yen Chen furrowed his brows and relaxed a little after feeling the old man's sincerity.
"Hehehehe~ I'm fine! Grandpa! Come, I'll introduce you to my big brother!" Ji Jiao laughed cutely with red cheeks and pulled the old man towards Yen Chen with a big happy smile.
"Big brother, this is Grandpa Feng! Grandpa Feng, this is my beloved big brother!" After arriving in front of Yen Chen, Ji Jiao introduced the two in a very cute way leaving Yen Chen dumbfounded because there was no way he could question the old man's intentions without making this little girl sad!
*Cough*
"Hello old man, my name is Yen Chen..." He coughed lightly and introduced himself under Ji Jiao's expectant gaze.
The old man smiled bitterly and bowed with cupped fists: Forgive my rudeness young master Yen Chen, this old man is called Di Feng, it is an honor to be able to meet him in person..."
"Di Feng? A Sovereign... Are you a member of the Di Family? One of the ten most powerful Families in the Ancient Familys Alliance?" Yen Chen asked with a frown on his face. A strong killing intent radiated from his entire being making Di Feng sigh bitterly.
"Yes, I am or was one of the four great elders of the Ancient Di Family..." Di Feng nodded slightly without showing a single trace of fear towards Yen Chen but he was quite and felt very surprised that He his could see through of his cultivation base so easily.
"Was? What do you mean?." Yen Chen questioned with a curious look and expression. Di Feng was about to answer him when Ji Jiao's upset voice suddenly echoed.
“Big brother Grandpa Feng, what are you two talking about?.” Ji Jiao asked with her cheeks puffed out and a very cute expression.
Yen Chen kissed her cheeks and caressed her head: Go get some sleep my princess.."
Ji Jiao yawned lightly with heavy eyelids and laid her head on his shoulder before entering Dreamland with a happy smile on her face. Yen Chen hugged her with a smile and looked at Di Feng: Now we can talk without interference..”
Di Feng's heart trembled, Yen Chen didn't use anything to make Ji Jiao sleep, it was just a casual order but it still worked. He shuddered lightly after remembering the only living beings that could do something like that!
'A ruler among Celestial rulers!'
Yen Chen saw that something in him had changed but he didn't know what it was. He shrugged and then sat in the air as if he were sitting on a throne: Tell me, will they come here tomorrow?.."
"Do you... Do you know?." Di Feng's eyes widened in surprise and pure disbelief, all the Cultivators who are searching for the whereabouts of Yen Chen and his women are using high-level concealment artifacts! Even the Sovereigns could not find them.
"Humph! There's no way such a big move would go unnoticed by me! I can feel that your allies are very close of us to find..." Yen Chen sneered coldly with a ridiculous smile.
Di Feng shivered slightly and asked: So... Aren't you guys going to run away? There are many Sovereign Cultivators behind you, in addition to nearly fifty cultivators of the Celestial Realm and hundreds of Elite Cultivators of the Sky Realm ”
"Hahahahaha~ run away? Why? Firstly, I and my family are not hiding or running away from you and secondly, we are using the Forest of Death as a training base for me and my beautiful women! I have no afraid of your Family Di or of other forces, they will all be eliminated by me and my family sooner or later.” Yen Chen laughed out loud, finding his question quite funny, and spoke coldly with an expression of pure disdain.
Di Feng gasped, using the Forest of death as a training base? What the hell is that? There are extremely powerful Magical Beasts living in this Forest and even Di Feng is only in this place because he was given permission to enter it.
"Now tell me, what do you want with Ji Jiao? Your answer will decide your life or death.." Yen Chen looked at Ji Jiao sleeping in his arms and stroked her hair with a soft expression and asked coldly leaving Di Feng with the hair on his body standing on end.
He took a deep breath to calm down and replied with a serious expression: Nothing, I just wanted to make her smile happy, just like I once did with my daughter and my granddaughter..."
Memories of a long-forgotten past appeared in her mind, making her eyes moisten and her expression change to one of pain and longing. Yen Chen saw this scene and frowned: They..."
"Yes, my daughter and my granddaughter as well as my entire family are dead, they all died hundreds of years ago.." Di Feng nodded with a bitter smile.
"I'm sorry, how did they die?."
Di Feng's lips twitched, he hated talking about this topic but to show his sincerity he decided to tell him the truth: Everyone was killed while I was traveling to the Central Continent's Ancient Di Family, the patriarch of this continent's Ancient Di Family promised to protect my family, but his empty promise cost the lives of the people I loved...."
Yen Chen listened to everything he said with a very curious and interested expression, there was no trace of pity or sympathy in his expression leaving Di Feng very shaken, Yen Chen's Dao Heart was too powerful.
"I'm sorry for you, but if you're part of the enemy group why didn't you tell them about our location? No! It would be really good if you told them, we can deal with everyone at once..." Yen Chen He sighed regretfully.
Di Feng sighed and shook his head with a bitter smile: I want to become your servant..."
"What?." Yen Chen thought he heard wrong and asked with a strange expression.
Di Feng bent one knee on the ground and asked again: Accept me as your servant..”
'Mei I didn't hear wrong right?.'
"No idiot! He wants to be your servant because he saw your monstrous potential.."
'Ho! I understood..'
"Why should I accept you as my servant? You're old man, your potential is running out, your talent is a little so-so, your power is total rubbish to me. So, tell me one good reason why I should accept you as a servant.." Yen Chen spoke coldly and Di Fang shivered slightly hearing his harsh words.
The old man took a deep breath and forced himself to look into Yen Chen's eyes and said with determination: Loyalty, I will be loyal to you and your family until my death..."
Yen Chen looked at him silently and Di Fang did the same with great difficulty, just looking at Yen Chen's eyes made his soul shudder slightly, it was as if he was looking into the eyes of a powerful Emperor. The two looked into each other's eyes for more than a minute before Di Feng couldn't take it anymore and closed his eyes.
A little blood ran down them, leaving Yen Chen himself surprised, he thought for a while and said: I can't accept you as my family's servant without talking to my wives first, bring all the idiots here tomorrow, I'll do a test for you, if you pass I will accept you as my subordinate not a mere servant..."
Di Feng swallowed a healing pill and nodded quickly: Thank you very much for the opportunity! I won't let you down, but..."
"Call me Boss!"
"Boss.."
Yen Chen raised his hand and demanded with a smile on his face, although confused Di Feng obeyed without thinking twice. After that Yen Chen gave him some more instructions and disappeared with Ji Jiao leaving the old man a little sad but his sadness was replaced by great determination. He took a deep breath and also left.
